The Actuarial Exam System

As of 2017, the Society of Actuaries has revised its examination structure for the first four courses (each course corresponds to one exam offered). Detailed information regarding this redesign can be obtained from the Society’s website. One of the most significant changes in the curricula is that some of the requirements for Associateship must be met through taking approved course work-VEE (Validated by Education Experience Subjects). Maryville University, as one of the Society of Actuaries’ pilot group, offers courses such as ACSC 405/505 and ACSC 416/516, , which have been approved by VEE Administration Committee to fulfill the requirements of topics in Corporate Finance, Economics, and Applied Statistical Methods.

The Maryville Actuarial Science curriculum is designed to coordinate with the first five actuarial exams jointly sponsored by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. See the following tables for the specific courses in the major and how they relate to the professional exams.
